A retina scanning drone in the sky. Marching armies of models dressed all in black. Thick tension and distemper, perhaps a reflection of the modern world itself. A post apocalyptic grey sci-fi white reminiscent of THX-138, or Apple's 1984 for that matter. This is the Y3 reveal of its new Spring/Summer collection. Because nothing says "the weather's getting warmer" like a technocratic dystopia filled with muted greys, slim-lined black pants, athletic-inspired apparel, visor helmets and paranoia.
I'm all for taking conceptual risks, especially when it comes to fashion. But this scenario doesn't make the clothes or the blonde-haired protagonist look particularly attractive. Also I can't help but wonder if anybody at the ad agency ever stopped to consider that opening on the sound of jackboots when making a fashion film for a German company with ties to World War Two might not be the best idea.

Everything about that was ugly, but I liked the sound design.
